gjv001 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 ObtainingTrent Williams could very well be the difference maker in Beanes valiant attempt to put a good Oline in front of Allen. So far between injuries and talent, the experiment is running into trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I’m rarely a Debbie downer or self proclaimed “realist”... but I’m thinking the entire o line fate for the season is going to hinge on the neurological state of one very specific really good guy at center.

GunnerBill Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 1 hour ago, Bangarang said: Didn't he play for us a few years ago? Big white dude? Yea he was one of the culls from Doug Marrone's starting offensive line. They opened the season in 2013 with Colin Brown at left guard and Sam Young as their swing backup G/T. After week 4 I believe they moved backup C Doug Legursky to LG, cut Brown (who never played in the NFL again) and cut Young (who bounced around as a sub-par backup for a few more years).

So far between injuries and talent, the experiment is running into trouble. Except Williams is frequently injured and would be costly. He's already under contract with Redskins and, despite all the discussion about his problems with their medical staff, appears to want more money to return.

He wasnt projecting to start as I recall I don't know much about Feliciano, but Long was a good interior lineman prior to being injured and being forced to play Center for the Jets. He's healthy now - Not sure if the staff sees him as a potential backup C, along with G. He has shown the ability to be an average-above average interior lineman when healthy, and has experience at Center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood wasn’t even elite, but decent and for his entire career the run game and even pass pro just wasn’t the same with a back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the starting 5 is starting to form - but the backup swing tackle job will be up for grabs. I think if dawkins or nseckhe were to miss time you would move ford into that spot, but that just creates a hole at RG. Sometimes its better to leave the unit intact in situations like that.

Young will be a serviceable camp body I assume. I agree with you. He was not one of the top 8 linemen. The three guys capable of playing tackle are Dawkins, Nsekhe, and Ford. These three will be on the roster. Ford may very well play guard but will be moved to right tackle if one of the other two guys miss games. Nsekhe would move to left tackle if Dawkins is injured. This looks to be a reasonable rotation. IMHO, other than Morse and Spain the other three roster spots appear to be wide open. I also expect a young developmental tackle to be on the practice squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR8 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Camp body... not a lot of good players on sitting out there with 2880 football players in camps across the country already... and that's not counting guys on IR Look for them to evaluate their team Thursday, and if they aren't happy make a trade this coming weekend... They will also be scouring the waiver wire as teams do final cut down's but for now thats a few weeks away and they need someone to be here to take additional reps now, but they'll be looking for a better player in any way they can.

He got caught up in the inevitable Jetness of being injured and a NYJet last year so I give Long a pass. He's no Pro Bowler and Morse is obvious the jewel in the crown here, but if Long is healthy he can play some. And yes, anyone who wants to use the term "inevitable Jetness" is welcome to use it.

Best Player Available Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Young, unless the entire stable of O-lineman goes down. He Should be one of the first cuts. OK, maybe he plays Q4 of the last pre season game. He is not NFL material. Good camp body maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 No word on whether we signed him? Agree with most that we need Camp & PS Game fodder. But if we’re truly in the market, better OL (those with a charted history) will likely be available in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
